Hello everyone,
I have been busy the last 2 weeks getting samples to shops and getting ready for my 1st quilt show this past weekend. I had a blast. It was the African American Quilters Guild of Los Angeles. It was a great experience and a lot of positive feedback. I have some shows lined up for the future. I shared a booth this time(busy making samples for myself). Here are a couple of pics........Let me know what you think

Yesterday I had a wonderful day visiting the beautiful cities of Temecula, then Vista with a group of friends, Brook, Joann and Christine, my buds. We were checking with the shops to see how my patterns are doing (and to get more orders ;o) )The Wool Lady Ruth, was wonderful as usual. I dropped off more patterns she reordered. Then we visited the Quilters Coop. They sold out of my patterns. Yeahhhhh!!!!The ladies there are great. My patterns are doing very well in both shops. Then we decided to drive to Vista to Fat Quarters Quilt Shop to see if we could catch the owner Michelle there. She was, and she is such a delightful person. She is absolutely wonderful. She loved what I am doing with my patterns and deceided to carry them. I am so excited.

Now I am back in the studio today, working my little fingers to finish up some new patterns I am working on. Will post some picks soon of the new patterns. For now, thank you for visiting and I will talk to you soon.

Hello Everyone,
A very good friend of mine, Brook, (Posies, Pearls & Palette) told me about One Flower Wednesdays from Journey of a Quilter blog. I have always wanted to make this quilt. It is one of my favorites. This is my first flower. I will be using civil war prints for my quilt. Let me know what you think.

I have been out of commission with an injured thumb. It has not totally healed, however I am able to do some work. I have been working on a lot of new patterns and they are now available in a couple of stores. I have 7 that have been released. I have patterns in the QUILTER'S COOP AND THE WOOL LADY, both in old town Temecula. See pics below and above and let me know what you think.
